About this property

“Arboretum Retreat” city of Boston

  • Spacious 3-Bedroom, 2-Bath Apartment in Roslindale Village, Boston | 1,800 Sq Ft | Sleeps 6 | Private Balcony





    A renovated first-floor apartment in Roslindale Village (02131) with 1,800 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a private balcony and a separate playroom. Room to spread out, and quiet enough to work in.





    The space: three bedrooms with two queen beds and two single beds, plus a sofa bed in the living room and a baby crib. Sleeps 6 comfortably; up to 9 with an extra guest fee. Two full bathrooms, a separate dining room, and a dedicated playroom for children.





    Set up for longer stays: a full kitchen, central air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and fresh linens and towels provided. Pets welcome with a pet fee.





    The neighborhood: walk to Roslindale Village for bakeries, cafes, restaurants and local shops. The Arnold Arboretum is an eight-minute walk. Adams Park and its seasonal farmers market are minutes away, with two playgrounds within a block, and Village Market and CVS within a ten-minute walk.





    Getting around: buses 36, 37 and 51 connect to Forest Hills Station on the Orange Line. Roughly 20 minutes by car to Harvard, Cambridge and the North End, and 20 to 25 minutes to MIT, downtown Boston, Brookline and TD Garden.





    Good for: families who need two bathrooms and space for children to play, and longer stays where 1,800 square feet makes the difference.

The house is in a great location and has off street parking. The kitchen has basic supplies, but I would not plan to do a lot of cooking. There a few maintenance issues that need to be addressed, but our party of seven had a good time.

Quaint basement bungalow

It is a very cozy basement apartment with tons of privacy. The only complaint was the lack of a second bathroom that was advertised. It was very clean with charming decorations and the bedrooms were spacious.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
Used this location for our startup team's offsite meeting (3 adults). All and all the stay was good. Nice quiet neighborhood. Checking in was a little confusing since the original listing showed pictures of a separate apartment that i thought was included, but it wasnt. So that was a bit wonky. And there were some quarky things for 3 adults - one room had only twin beds. And there is no master. One small full bath off the kitchen, and then a full bath between 2 queen rooms. The neighborhood was cute, several walkable things, doordash and instacart availability. I would say this place is good size for smaller families - but note, the floors are creeky and there are apartments above and below, so if you are sensitive to those sounds, may not be place for you.

Boston Marathon

Great little apartment!! Only thing I didn’t notice disclosed in listing was the sounds from upstairs. Not total shock being as it is in basement, but weekend nights seemed louder. I would suggest little things to have on hand, salt & pepper, and maybe 1 larger microwaveable cooking dish. Overall, recommend!!!
